Default FAO those who are short-sighted

I wear glasses (-2.5 in both eyes).

Basically I will be going on holiday to Mexico and don't fancy wearing glasses on the beach, as it'll be hassles getting in and out of water etc

I currently wear dailies, can I get waterproof contacts?

Or are the only solutions to my problem:

1) Wear pre-scription sunglasses
2) Wear my daily disposables and normal goggles
3) Prescription goggles

Anyone with experience of this, which is best?

If I have to go down the prescription goggles route, could someone please recommend a good reliable website that sells good quality ones.
Don't really want to pay more than £30.

I'm puzzled - I no longer wear contact lenses (had the eyes lasered) but wore dailies for years and never even thought about this. Did everything in them including loads of water-sports etc. I nearly lost one once when a wave hit me in the face - a few blinks soon re-positioned it.

Have a couple of spares with you for peace of mind but you'll be fine!

I've worn contacts swimming too, never lost one. Take a few spares and don't try to replace one until you're away from the sand (ouch!).

As above, the only reason I wore contact lenses were to play in the water or contact sports. So you should be fine.

I also have had my eyes lasered, so no more glasses / lenses.
